The following is the first in a series of several reviews of the new shows for the upcoming fall TV season. TV Watchers previewed the pilots for several of the new programs slated to begin in the next weeks and offers their thoughts and wants to hear from you following the start of each show!

First up, let's take a look at the upcoming FOX comedy Back To You. The show marks a return to the small screen for a few veteran actors from past hit shows hoping to score a new comedy hit.

Fast forward to current day, with a snapshot of a YouTube screen (brilliant!) showing now L.A. anchor Darling freaking out during a guest spot on his newscast. What he though was an off-camera tirade gets him canned and thus slinking back to the Steel City for his old job.

The rest of the pliot follows Darling's return to his old haunts and exposes several surprises, most predictable (clashing with Carr, who is now the star anchor) and some unpredictable, which we'll leave for our TV Watchers to discover for themselves.

Overall, it's certainly not the worst series Fox has ever brought to the table (See The War at Home, The Tick, Andy Richter Controls the Universe to name a few). Despite it's predictability and stereotypical supporting characters, while I will surely not flip past it when it's on, I won't be setting the season pass on the DVR for this one.

I laughed the entire show. I almost missed the next joke I was laughing so hard. A great show, with great actors, and numerous jokes and one-liners. You need to use your diaphragm more. As if that's possible. Hilarious!! A little bit predictable with the daughter being Kelsey's character Chuck's. I saw it coming a little earlier than I would have liked to. Otherwise a terrific show, I can't imagine there being another new show this funny!!
